Sheraz Shere and Amira Vallani set the stage for Accelerate Fintech with a look at Solana's north star: performance, reliability, and decentralization as the foundation for moving money like data moves on the internet.
In this session:
- Solana's theoretical max throughput today (100K TPS) and the path to nearly 1M
- Why "battle-tested" matters — fees barely moved during crypto's biggest
liquidation event
- How a thousand global validators and multiple software clients made
decentralization Solana's biggest strength
- Two-plus years without a network outage, including through a recent AWS
incident that took other chains down
Speakers: Sheraz Shere and Amira Vallani, Solana Foundation
